One clean option would be to create a procmail script for the emergency
"user" (edit or create .procmailrc in /home/emergency).

You'd need a "recipe" that would look something like:

SHELL = /bin/sh
# Don't forget to rotate or delete the log from time to time
LOGFILE     = /home/emergency/pm.log
LOGABSTRACT = "all"
VERBOSE     = "on"

# Deliver to Sprint PCS phone
:0 c
|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi address at sprint.net

# Deliver to pager
:0 c
|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi address at pager.com

# Deliver to mailbox
:0
/var/spool/mail/emergency
